The repair of cast iron poses a problem. Compared with steel and aluminium, cast iron cannot be welded easily because it is relatively brittle and can be damaged by heat. One alternative for the repair of the original item is 'cold metal stitching'.

Cast iron repairs carried out by this method avoid introducing any heat stresses, so no distortion occurs and in many instances machining is unnecessary. It is invaluable in emergency situations, reduces downtime and avoids the replacement of expensive castings.

Stitchweld Casting Repairs Ltd cold casting repairs are superior to welding in the case of cast iron. To find out more about this process and other services we offer please do not hesitate to contact us via telephone or email.
